The Bone Houses

Pacing was very challenging.
Characters were flimsy.
World-building fell short.
Plot devices were over used and largely one-dimensional.

I don't see the hype. Some points in the plot were great and then immediately forsaken, others were funny, but mostly it was dull. Another reviewer called it “too slow and too fast” and that's spot on. And that's too bad because I'm always rooting for strong female leads.
